My mental health was much enhanced by volunteering and training outdoors to the extent I was able to work on similar projects to yours so have first hand experience of how valuable it is from 'both sides of the fence' as it were!

Transferring in an incredible £1000 from Grasmere Gingerbread - massive thanks to Joanne Hunter and team. Press release about GG’s appeal to support mental health services in Cumbria is out now and on Growing Well’s Facebook page.

We are Power Plants, a team of nuclear graduates from across the country who developed our grow-your-own sunflower kits as part of an enterprise challenge.
We visited Growing Well in June to see how our project would benefit our inspiring charity partner and its volunteers. Power Plants wants to spread the word about the positive effect therapeutic horticulture can have on personal wellbeing.
Growing Well understands the power that growing plants can have on lives. They support people experiencing mental health problems by providing meaningful and fulfilling work on their organic farm in Cumbria.
Our sunflower kits cost £10 and Power Plants is donating 100% profits from sales to Growing Well to support them in continuing their important work.
Our project is nearly complete and today we are proud to donate £3,200 to this inspirational project!

Not only is she willing to dress up as a pea pod for us and shake buckets, queue in 2 hours of traffic to then wait tables at our fundraising dining events AND be a general superstar on site, one of our volunteers, Helen J, has donated £100 to our crowdfunder. Thank you, Helen!
